SARATOGA, June 8.-The sizty-frst ami
yersary meeting of the American Home
Missionary society was continued to-day.
Secretary BarrOWs reviewed the work Of
the year. be said that the executive com
nittee had commissioned the Rev. VIM. G.
RuddefOots of Michigan, to spend all his
time during the coming year
IN adore sing missionary conventions.
Eleven states, the six New England
states with New York, Ohio, Illinois, Iowa,
snd Wisconsin, contributed last year, besides
supporting their own work, 1885, 600, OF
which Massachusetts alone gave $3.50. 600
and Connecticut $47,O 600. In ali the society
employed 1871 missionaries, an Increase
over last year Of 102. They served g, O68
churches and preaching stations, with ?, 100
Sunday schools, having 000O members.

As soon as this is replaced the principal will
not be again spent, but held as collateral for

necessary. There vas during the year the

STRIKES COME HIGH.
The Financial Situation Improved The
Eject OF One Strike.

The Financial Situation Improved The
Eject OF One Strike.
NEW YoRK, June 1O.-R. G. Dun & Co.'s
review of trade says that but for the labor
contests and excessive speculation the
outlook would be entirely satisfactory, The
crop prospect and financial situation have
both improved during the past week, but
the effect of important strikes is felt more
seriously every week. How great the dis
turbance Of trade and production which
may result from a single strike is fOrcibly
illustrated by the returns of the iron furnR-
ces. The Iron Age states that the weekly
output June / YVES about 81, 675 tons or %
per cent. less than May 1, while Pittsburg
statistics, by our correspondent, make the
decrease 80, $50 tons. Either statement rep
resents a remarkable decline in the output,
ranging from 100000 to $4,000 IN value,
Of weekly production, and to this must be
added the decrease in many i'm
portant branches Of manufacture,
which depend for material
upon the furnaces now idle.
In spite of the great decline in production,
prices Of iron have been weaker during the
past week. heavy sales OF southern iron hay
ing been made IN eastern markets. The
stove business rsVives, the lockout of mot
ders having terminated, but the nail mark
ct Is demOralized by over production. The
demand for ore iron is better, but prices
are depressed by western competitors, and
the Offering of foreign rates at low figures
checks the demand near seapoFtb.
The business failures during the last
seven days number, for the United States,
40; for Canada, 80; total, 173; against $50
last week, and 209 for the corresponding
week last year In the eastern and middle
states the failures are exceptionally light.
In the other sections about the average num-
Der are reported, but in Canada there is a
considerable increase, arising mostly in the
maratime provinces.

The new Persian striped or Roman
plaided goods IN silk and wool, which
are now exhibited, are strongly recon-
mended to women who wish to remodel
their own or their children's last year
dresses with comparatively little out
lay. Granting that these goods may
seem a bit high-prieed, it requires but
three or four yards to transform a dark
dress in monochrome into a bright, at
tractive costume, as mingling the gay
hued fabric with the plain trimmings on
the skirt, with vest, collar, and cuffs Of
the former goods added to the bodice,
quite changes the simple dress into q
stylish costume suitable and apPropri-
ate foE any eEdinaEz occasion.

MR.. GEORGES RECORD.

That the United Labor party of New York
would nominate Henry George for Secretary
of State was a foregone conclusion, fore
Swallowed for some time before the conven-
ton met. He accepted the nomination with
expressions of Indifference such as politicians
are apt to use when they do not wish to ap-
pear overanxious in such matters. It must
not be supposed that Mr.. George is a novice
in politics or that his present candidacy is
his debut. 1t suits his purpose to affect
the role of moral reformer who cares moth
ing for Office party politics save as they
can be utilized to advance his favorite scheme
of land reform, but his record shows consider
able of an itching for politics and a decided
talent for boxing the political compass. Mr.
George was Republican before and during
the war and up to the time of Grants first
term. About that time he changed front and
became Democrat being then resident of
California. The California Democracy en-
couraged his conversion by making him Secre-
tary of the State convention in 1871 and in
the same year he a candidate for the
Legislature on the Democratic ticket in San
Francisco, but was defeated He was a
delegate to the Democratic National con-
vention at Baltimore which nominated Horace
Greeley for president, and although Mr..
George was then now ultra-free trader,
he found no fault with Mr.. Greeleys protec-
ton views. Mr. George trying to get
into politics by the Democratic door, and Mr..
Greeley was good enough Morgan till after
the election At that time Mr.. George was
not so much OF reformer but that he could
heartily indorse the good old Democratic
NAHUM of anything to win. But the Greeley
card did not win. In 1876 Mr.. George
stumped California for Tilden-hoping per-
hans to hasten the abolition of poverty by
placing the millionaire bachelor in the presi-
Dental chair. But that was not to be. In
